OPETH To Play Russia For The First Time

November 14, 2008

Swedish progressive metallers OPETH will perform in Russia for the first time ever in February 2009. On February 20, the band will play in Moscow and on February 21 they appear in St. Petersburg.

"Burden", the new video from OPETH, can be viewed below. While Danish director Lasse Hoile (DREAM THEATER, PORCUPINE TREE, STEVEN WILSON) shot and directed the storyline in Denmark, OPETH filmed the band performance at the Vogue theater in Vancouver, Canada.

"The Roundhouse Tapes", the long-awaited new DVD from OPETH, was released in Europe on October 27 and in the U.S. on November 11 via Peaceville Records.

"The Roundhouse Tapes" contains a critically acclaimed OPETH performance recorded at The Roundhouse, London in 2006. Described by Rock Sound as "a show of spectacular greatness in this legendary venue … an amazing performance by one of Europe's premier epic metal bands," the DVD perfectly captures the band in scintillating form playing a selection of classics from throughout their career.
